    I bought a Beretta 92 because:

    I bought my 92FS as the ergonomics were spot on. I can drop the slide release without altering my grip. It came with a dodgy barrel crown, it had a big ding in it which was done prior to the finish being applied, I had my gunsmith re-crown it (not worth trying to get warranty service in...

    Finally found what I'm looking for???

    I have a pair of 45 Blackhawk Convertibles. Great guns. Always fancied the 357/9milly version. Look after it and a Ruger will see you out easily.

    Long Range Calibers

    I don't want to sound like a smartass, but if you were ready for a 300WM, you probably wouldn't be asking the question. Try a 308, I have several of both, but the 308 is real hard to beat, cheap, easy, accurate. You can pick up cheap but still very accurate used Palma style rifles from rifle...

    Wacky gun... Ruger No.1 in 458 Win Mag

    My friend went on a real expensive guided red deer hunt when he retired some years ago. He used a 338WM and popped a stag and the bullet went straight through and grassed another stag as well. $3000.00 trophy fee x2!!! My friend was reallllllllllllll impressed. Sold the 338 as soons as he got home.

    Garand in 30.06 or .308?

    "Another thing to note, the older garands have forged recievers, the new springers don't, and for the price of a new one, you can basically build a superior match grade original, refinish it and repark it." The actions for the springers are made at the Australian Defence Industries factory at...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Excuse the poor quality photo, my camera was playing up and died a few shots later. 44Mag Super Blackhawk, 10 1/2" Bbl. Its a bit long, I will try it and see how it goes. I feel I would like it better at 7 1/2", but I'll give it a run first. Mick

    best 22. cal pistol

    Baikal 22 target pistol, awesome accurate, zilch recoil, a very well sorted pistol. I have a Browning which shot way better than my old Ruger, and this baby shoots wayyyyyyyyy better than the browning. I'm extremely happy with it. Performs as well as the real expensive guns at a fraction of...

    new target shooter...need cheap rifle

    Snif around the target rifle clubs. If its anything like Australia, there is always a good cheap rifle or two (or a club gun to use). You won't be ultra competitive, but you aren't anyway because you are just starting. Use the second hand rifle for awhile and then see which way you want to go...

    Sounds good. Sure is a pretty gun though, plain base grade model, colour case hardened action, but nicely done. Thanks

    Need Info on S&W 38 Special CTG

    They are a nice little cartridge, I have an old Colt Police Positive in 38S&W. It was used by Broken Hill Propritory Limited, a big aussie mining company for bullion escorts for years, then used by the Commonwealth Bank, probably as a tellers gun, before being sold off to a security company. The...

    Winchester Lever Replicas???

    Are these strong enough to take standard Winchester No4, No6 and No3 loads? I fancy one as pumps and semi autos are restricted here, you have to get a fancy license to get one, but these levers are just treated as a normal shotgun. I wouldn't mind one for blastinhg hares at night of fthe back of...

    Ugartechea, how do you pronounce it?

    pronounce? Boy did I spell that right. The title says it all, I have one of these delightful shotguns, but have no idea how the name is pronounced. From my searching on th enet it appears to me to be the family name, but that doesn't sound right either. They come from the basque area in...

    First Sporting Clays shoot! :D

    I didn't do that good, first shoot with the SxS, I have never had a chance to pattern it or see where it hit in realtion to everything and I'm a bit new to shotgun competition, I've been a rifle shooter in the main and have to override 45years of rifle shooting. Got 24 out of 75, which they...

    Magnatech pistol ammo

    I have used lots of it in cowboy ammo, dirty, but excellent (they burn coal in them I think :D ). The only malfunction I have ever seen was with a guy a couple of weeks ago, 357 wouldn't fire, tried a couple times, swapped it to another 357 and it went off straight away. Probably had the trigger...

    First Sporting Clays shoot! :D

    I have been down at my bro in laws the last week, took some stuff down to him, shot some hares for him on the research station (he works for the Dep of Ag) and made serious inroads into his red wine collection. I was about to return home and the local shotgun club was mentioned and it appeared...
